Get a free copy of the Gimp and either resize the dimensions of the image or use a higher compression to get the file size down to the 80k limit as dorward linked to (or both). jeffa L-LL-L--L-LL-L--L-LL-L-- -R--R-RR-R--R-RR-R--R-RR B--B--B--B--B--B--B--B-- H---H---H---H---H---H--- (the triplet paradiddle with high-hat)	[reply]

Ways of reducing the size of an image file: Resize the image. Crop the image. Decrease the quality of the image (if you're using a lossy format such as `.jpg`). Switch to a lossy format (such as `.jpg`), especially if the image is photo-like (i.e. no hard egdes). Lower the number of colours saved. This is particularly useful for lossless formats such as `.png`. Lower the number of colours used. This is particularly useful for lossless formats such as `.png`.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

With `png` files, you can also use pngcrush. I haven't used it myself, but I've heard good testimonials. Do not rebuke them with harsh words ... but rather lead them gently - with URLs - so that they may learn wisdom.	[reply] [d/l]

There is an 80k limit - and you can't (at least, it shouldn't be possible) work around it.	[reply]
